Mary Love again. Can understand why she was popular on the Northern Soul dance scene!

Gabrielle again.

I Want to Talk About You

I believe this lady will go far To people who say Jazz is dead I say listen to Gabrielle Cavassa and you'll change your mind. Born in California with Italian heritage she moved to New Orleans where she has become part of the Jazz scene and has already won the Sarah Vaughan award for Jazz. Now 30 years old she has produced her first album.

They sang with Barry White's 40 piece Love Unlimited orchestra from 1969 until 1982 when they disbanded to seek solo careers. Glodene married Barry and they had 7 children. This track went to number one for them.

Beverley Knight - Queen of Starting Over live GMTV 111007

Dr. Beverley Knight DBE live with a great favourite of mine. Love the way she uses her arms to support the words she sings. In addition to the honours mentioned she also was given the Freedom of the City of Wolverhampton where she hails from. That is a very high honour in the UK. She dedicated it to all the people she advocates for.
